"Lasting Feralheart Spaulders" Lasting is right, these things will last you till about your late 70s, maybe further!

Comment by TheTrueCrow

it seems that only armor has the 10% xp grant.

A little summary on all info about Heirlooms (last update 12-11-2008).

This item is part of the new system blizzard is implementing in Wrath of the Lich King. This items are bought with tokens like Badges of Justice, the Emblems of Heroism and Stone Keeper’s Shards, which are attained by killing any dungeon boss in Northrend while your faction controls Wintergrasp.. They bind on account and are interchangeable between any character of that account but not to anyone else's. This item's stats are the level 80 ones, since this special Heirlooms (the new item rarity created specifically to this purpose) scale with your level (Each time you gain levels it's stats increase). The enchants you can apply on them are the level 1 ILevel ones. Their incredible itemization will make your leveling easier and will most likely last to 80 since they are better than the average greens you get to that level.

If a special situatin on the kind of armor it displays happens (example: Warriors wear mail 1-39 plate 40-80), the item "transforms" into the new armor proficiency when you reach the required level.

In adiction, the shoulderparts will increase the experience you gain by 10%. It may sound like "meh. 100 exp becomes 110, big deal", but actually those 10%+exp will make the difference on you leveling's speed.

Spoiled Alts will enjoy this immensely. good one Blizz!

You can get a full list of all Heirlooms here: http://www.wowhead.com/?items&filter=qu=7(notice, only Shoulder slot items have the +10%EXP bonus!)The actual (24-10-2008) available slot items are Shoulders (for all prficiencies and specs but tanks), Trinkets (for melee, caster, and Medallions) and Weapons/Ranged (For some reason, no Wands... This may change when Wrath comes. I sincerly hope so... 3 out of 10 classes use it, i dont see why it shouldnt be taken into account...)

Edit (05.06.2009) - Seems like blizzard changed the way +EXP bonus works. It now ALSO WORKS WITH QUESTS! This will definatly mean some serious ease in levelling. 10% less experience in those late 70s means abov 100000 experience saved, no matter how you grind! Yumm!

If you're curious as to how this item scales down with your character's level (for purposes of twinking or general curiosity), you can use the LINK button at the top of this item page to link the item in-game: the WoW client will automatically scale the item stats down to your character's level for you. This works with all the other Heirloom items as well.

Steps in case you are unfamiliar with how to use Wowhead item links:

Click the link button above, there will be a popup window with some automatically highlighted text.

Copy the text (Windows: Ctrl-C, Mac: Cmd-C) and close the popup window.

Open (or switch to) WoW and press Enter to open up your chat dialog.

Paste the code into the box (Windows: Ctrl-V, Mac: Cmd-V) and press Enter.

A message in white text will appear in your chat log followed by an item link.

You can click this link to view the details and can Ctrl-click it to view it on your character.

Thanks goes to mynameiscoffey for creating the helpful "how to" steps, original comment found here.

This item is also one of the many new Bind to Account items.This means you can send it to any character on your Realm/Faction.When using a Character Realm Transfer these items will also follow you.

276-250=26 (thats the 10% on the base xp)138-125=13 (thats the bonus on the rested)26+13=39

You gain 26 rep without restedYou gain 13 additional rep with restedA total increase of 39 rep when rested instead of 26.

So using the shoulders with rested state gives you 15% increase instead of 10% when rested.

You can enchant BoA items with enchants that require ilvl 1 item, or don't have requirements of ilvl and do not bind item after enchant (rep/profession-only "soulbounding enchants" cannot be used on BoA items).

Additionaly every Heirloom item will change category with profession, for example you can buy Plate shoulders, and send them to warrior on 30 lvl, shoulders will "change" into Mails, and after reaching 40lvl again into Plate.

Comment by Eljewster

odd noone has mentioned the fact that "feralheart" is actually a resto/balance item

The alt in question must be on the same realm realm as the character you will be buying the items with. They must also be on the same faction.

Comment by konchu

One thing I have not seen mentioned and It may not be a great amount but wouldn't these theoretically give you more money on high level quest once you hit 80 since the game converts the experience to gold.

Comment by gammapala

well this could be a good twink item since twink shoulders dont got stats

Comment by elstor

Heirloom items are perfect for the bank alt that likes to be stylish!

Comment by Dilbon

After hitting 80 you can still use these for PvP, so these are a better choice than the Ironfeather shoulders which are easily replaced. The lack of intellect on these doesn't matter a thing when leveling.

Comment by Pendum

These are crappy druid shoulders. Not for feral and cloth BoA are better for resto/balance.

Comment by Mykal

Check the stats. AGI and ATK POW suggest a Feral druid would use them and the SPi and Spell Power on these are more for a Shaman / Balance druid (or Resto) druid.

Comment by Corgyll

You can use any shoulder-enchant on BoA-shoulders now since the change in the 3.1 patch.But you need to fit the required lvl to gain the benefit, for example last night i enchanted my Polished Spaulders of Valor with the Scryer shoulder-enchant and it got on just fine,but i needed to be lvl70 to gain the extra attackpower and crit.

Comment by orunin

Use this macro to find the item stats at any level.

/script for i=1,80 do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Level "..i..": \124cffe5cc80\124Hitem:44105:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:"..i.."\124h\124h\124r"); end

Comment by lovetokill

do you have to be lvl 80 to buy the herloom items because you can get emblems of triumph 70-80

Comment by Lurelina
